Package: logrotate Version: 3.7.8-6 Severity: normal Hi,
It seems that the notifempty option is not taken into account and the postrotate script is ran on empty files. A way to reproduce it: Consider the /etc/logrotate.d/test: /root/test/logs/*.log { create 0640 root root dateext daily rotate 35 missingok compress delaycompress notifempty postrotate echo "arguments: $@" endscript } # mkdir -p /root/test/logs # touch /root/test/logs/test1.log # echo 'hello' > /root/test/logs/test2.log Rotation: # logrotate /etc/logrotate.d/test -f arguments: arguments: /root/test/logs/test2.log-20111222 I didn't find such behaviour on Lenny.
